Pre-requisites

 At least 3 DCR Classes. Osseous Bridges and Coccyx Phenomenon

Description

This advanced lab course will provide manual therapy solutions for optimal treatment results at the cranial base. Techniques and other user-friendly IMT solutions will be presented to correct pathoanatomic causes of pain and inflammation. Problems at the cranial base cause headaches and migraines, orthopedic and neurologic disorders, affecting the spinal column, spinal cord and beyond. Advanced biomechanics will not be presented at this course. It is therefore highly recommended that participants have studied Osseous Bridges and Coccyx Phenomenon.

Outcomes

• 1. Anatomy of the cranial base



• 2. ‘Patterns’ of pathoanatomy within the region of the cranial base



• 3. Techniques and other IMT solutions to correct dysfunction of the cranial base with an Integrated Systems Approach



• 4. Clinical Skills: what is primary? Spinal column? Spinal Cord? Other?

Outline

• Anatomy of the cranial base territory



• IMT techniques to correct dysfunction within the cranial base



• ‘Patterns’ of dysfunction of the cranial base



• Differentiation and Nullification: what is the primary cause of dysfunction



• Manual Therapy solutions for cranial base dysfunction contributing to pain and disability of the spinal column and spinal cord
